For the past five academic years, the Government has provided additional funding of £150 million per annum, in order to improve provision of physical education and sport in primary schools. In 2017 the Government are providing £300 million per annum. The money goes directly to Primary Headteachers, with each school receiving £16,000 plus an extra £10 per child from Year 1-6.

How much funding is available?

During the 2017 to 2018 academic year, Bulford St Leonard’s Primary will receive £17,800. This funding is ring-fenced and therefore can only be spent on provision of PE and sport in schools.

We also aim to use the funding in a sustainable manner so that it continues to benefit children in years to come and has a lasting legacy.
